hot wrench
I had to take apart a flimsy old cast iron camp stove today. Fifty year old
steel screws/nuts holding the cast iron top onto flimsy sheet metal. I tried half-heartedly to unscrew them, but I knew they wouldn't budge. I would have dug out the air chisel but I wanted to save the cast iron top to use to hold up my lead pot over a Mike Porter burner. So I dug out the O/A torch and flushed off the 12 offending screws in a jiffy. Knocked off a little slag and the top is ready for the bead blaster. I love oxy/fuel torches sometimes. GWE |
